The Vineyard at Escondido

Gnats and bare patches

$45 with a cart. Can’t beat the price. Make sure to bring deet spray for the back nine though. Holes 11-16 came with a constant buzzing of the at least 20 gnats swarming around me at all times. (No exaggeration) Couple bare patches in the fairway and a few patches taken out of the greens too (no idea how that happens, but there you have it) Tee boxes were nice and level. Layout can definitely be challenging, but apparently fair (if you’re better than me at hitting it straight anyway) Given the price though, definitely worth it.
Oh. They also recently punched and sanded the greens, so keep that in mind if you’re thinking about there soon. 2-3 weeks from now, the greens should be great. (Except for the parts on a couple that almost look like divots)

Great maintenance

Course is in great shape. Unfortunately a lot of other courses have let their maintenance routines slip, but not here. There were a couple areas that were overwatered, but the tee boxes, greens, and few fairways you have to use are all in fantastic shape. Fortunately (for me) I can’t speak to the condition of the bunkers.

Short with challenging greens

It’s short and cheap. Great for a beginner. 3-4 of the greens are serious domes, but in good shape. Two of the tee boxes have just been redone so you had to tee off from turf mats placed to the side until the sod takes hold. Aside from teeing off of turf though, the course was better than I expected. Much better maintained that other execs I’ve played recently.
